Chapter 124: The Outer Mongolian Border
"Your Majesty, we should be careful of the Japanese, although there is a great chance that Japan will not send troops, but we can't take it lightly, after all, Japan's combat power is very strong, and it is estimated that the northeast side will not last long, so I will build yƬ next year to recover Outer Mongolia, so that we can also improve our strength, and the victory rate will also increase." Jiang Fangzhen said.
Qin Yu pointed at North Korea with a baton and said: "There are only a few Japanese divisions here, and there are dozens of divisions in the northeast, which should still be able to resist for a while, as long as we can achieve victory in Outer Mongolia, Japan will not dare to attack us, and more importantly, now that all countries have huge economic interests in the empire, they dare not do it, and countries will not let Japan attack China, so we should not worry too much about Japan." ā
Although everyone sounded right, they were very worried about Qin Yu doing this, because no one could say anything about the sudden incident, and they had to be cautious.
"Your Majesty, according to what you said, hundreds of thousands of soldiers must be recruited, and our current regular army is only about 900,000, which means that more than 600,000 soldiers or even more soldiers must be recruited, but recruits cannot go to the battlefield to fight at all, and they will not be able to become a qualified imperial soldier without a year or two.
Will our conscription cause opposition from all countries in the world, after all, after the imperial conscription, there will be more than 1.5 million troops, especially Japan and other countries, they will definitely conscript, so we want to carry out secret conscription? Cai Ye said very sternly.
"It is impossible to carry out such a large-scale conscription in secret, but if we vague the number, for example, if we sign 600,000, we will call it 200,000 to the outside world, and try to recruit soldiers from remote areas or mountainous areas, which will also have a certain amount of confusion.
However, our weapons will not be able to fully equip the newly recruited soldiers, and all kinds of military supplies will also be greatly increased, so that military spending has been increased, and military spending is already very large, and if we still have to go to war, it will lead to even greater military spending.
In addition, we should strengthen the strength of Zhang Zuolin in Northeast China, so that we can better cope with Japan's response, step up our infiltration into Northeast China, and weaken Japan's strength in Northeast China. Jiang Fangzhen said.
Once China goes to war with Russia, it is very likely that Russia's troops in Northeast China will be transferred to Outer Mongolia to participate in the war, and Japan is very likely to take advantage of the situation to seize Russia's interests in Northeast China, so Jiang Fangzhen proposed to strengthen penetration into Northeast China.
"The economy is supported by loans from various countries, and more than a quarter of the borrowed money will be invested in the military, so don't worry. The matter of conscription will be done as Baili said, and while conscripting troops, troops will be sent to the border of Outer Mongolia, and the first batch of 300,000 troops will probably be sent to the junction of Suiyuan, Chahar, Ningxia provinces and Outer Mongolia, and the second batch will be determined according to the situation.
In addition, it is necessary to increase the number of troops by 100,000 to the Liaohe garrison in the northeast, and their task is to prevent the Japanese army from occupying the three eastern provinces, and the troops in the southwest can be appropriately transferred back.
It was decided that two months later, troops would be sent to Outer Mongolia, and the best time to march into Outer Mongolia in the summer was the best time, so it was time to prepare for this battle to completely solve the Russian threat to the empire. Qin Yu said very arrogantly.
Jiang Fangzhen and they were stunned when they heard that there were still two months to send troops to the outside world, this was too fast, they thought it would be next summer, but they didn't expect it to be this year, isn't Your Majesty too anxious?
Two months is simply not possible to lay out and prepare for the entire war situation, not only to prepare for Russia, but also to prepare for Japan, not to mention that a large number of government personnel have already invested in the wave of the First Five-Year Plan, and there is a shortage of manpower.
"Your Majesty, two months is not enough to prepare at all, the government's personnel have been put into the First Five-Year Plan, our manpower is insufficient, I hope that Your Majesty can delay until next year to recover Outer Mongolia.
Moreover, a large-scale armament in a short period of time will certainly be discovered by various countries, so that our intentions will not be discovered. How do you explain armaments to other countries? Chen Fu asked.
"Haha, I just want them to find out, first reveal to them, the movement of the army is the best explanation, and a fair war can highlight the strength of the empire. Two months was only to prepare armaments for the war with Russia, and as for the others, they could be collected during the war, and the lack of government personnel allowed some projects built by the empire itself to be suspended for a month or two, and the college of Huaxia University (formerly Anqing University) was asked to intern and help.
In two months, the first battle of the Empire will be fought, and everyone, go and fight for the honor of the Empire! Retake the land of the Empire, let the darkness fear the light of the Empire, and win! Win! Qin Yu shouted with his head held high.
"Long live the Empire! Win! Win! ā
Chen Fu and the others also shouted, and the Praetorian Guards outside also shouted, this voice resounded throughout Zhongnanhai, and all the government personnel who heard it couldn't help but shout.
On May 3, the government of the Chinese Empire ordered conscription, and another 200,000 soldiers were recruited nationwide, on the grounds that the empire needed fresh blood to maintain the combat strength of the army, and there were not enough warriors to guard the borders of the empire.
As soon as the conscription order came out, the young men of the whole country were boiling, the long-awaited conscription came again, the opportunity to be crowned a marquis came, and the conscription offices all over the country were crowded, and no one could stop their enthusiasm.
In addition, the Imperial Defense Army was transferred to Suiyuan, Chahar and other provinces and the borders of Outer Mongolia, and the number of troops stationed in Liaohe was increased to as much as 300,000.
The increase of the Wehrmacht in the Liaohe River made Zhao Erxun of Fengtian very frightened, he hurriedly slowed down the actions of the Zongshe Party, if it was discovered, it would definitely become a reason for the Wehrmacht to attack, the current emperor of the Chinese Empire, Qin Yu, he did not allow the appearance of the second emperor, so Zhao Erxun was very nervous.
Zhang Zuolin was also shocked, but when he saw the weapons secretly sent by the empire, he was not afraid, it was obvious that the empire had recognized him, and maybe he would be knighted in the future.
These actions of the Chinese Empire shocked all countries in the world, it is obvious that these actions are aimed at Outer Mongolia and Northeast China, is China going to war directly with Japan and Russia? Is Huaxia crazy?
The governments of various countries began to discuss Huaxia's actions, and the result was that Huaxia wanted to solve the problems of Outer Mongolia and Northeast China, and Huaxia was so crazy that it was about to go to war just after the founding of the country, and they were already a little worried about whether their investment in Huaxia would be ruined because of this.
Britain and France were very happy about Huaxia's actions, and they were still thinking about how to weaken Huaxia's military strength, but they didn't expect Huaxia to hit the muzzle of the gun themselves, and they also started a war with Russia and Japan, which gave them a headache, so that Japan and Russia could teach Huaxia a lesson, and they could also weaken the strength of the two countries to a certain extent.
Britain and France believed that although China had tanks, it would be very difficult to defeat the crazy Russians and Japanese, after all, both countries bordered China, and they could send a huge number of troops, and there was a great possibility of entering a protracted war, which allowed them to make a fortune in the war.
The Germans had already known from Moltke's telegram that China was going to recover Outer Mongolia, and they thought that it would not be carried out so quickly, and even now the troops would not start a war in a short time. But they felt that it was necessary to support China against Russia, and it would be better if they could greatly weaken Russia's strength, so as to weaken the strength of the Entente, which Germany wanted to see the most. After discussion, they decided that China would not go to war with the two countries at the same time, and Japan would not attack China during this period, because the interests of various countries in China would make them retreat, so they felt that China's victory rate was greater than that of Russia, and Germany was the country that knew China's strength best.
Russia was very frightened by the actions of the Chinese Empire, and Nicholas II hurriedly concentrated the Russian troops in the Far East in the area of Outer Mongolia, and continued to send troops to the Far East from the country, so that the Russian army in the Far East reached more than 500,000.
Russia said that Outer Mongolia was an independent country and that the Chinese Empire could not invade other countries. The Russian army directly entered Outer Mongolia to confront the Chinese army, and its armaments and logistics began to transport a large number of supplies to Outer Mongolia through the East Siberian Railway.
Japan was also in a panic, the conscription of the Chinese Empire had threatened Japan's security, the cabinet urgently convened a meeting to discuss the issue of China, and finally made a decision to expand the army, and Japan also followed the Chinese Empire to expand the army of 200,000 troops, in addition to adding two divisions to Korea.
The conscription and garrisoning of the Chinese Empire made the atmosphere in the entire Far East tense again, and the increase of Russian troops in the Far East and the conscription of Japanese troops and the increase of troops in Korea made the Far East the focus of the world's attention, almost surpassing the focus of the Balkan Peninsula.
The atmosphere in the Far East also made a large number of arms dealers smell business opportunities, and they came to China and Japan with their arms from thousands of miles away, while the large arms dealers in the United States directly contacted the Chinese military through the American ambassador to China, and finally Huaxia ordered a large number of arms, which made the American arms dealers very satisfied, and they also sold a lot of weapons production lines to China.
